Default coil spacers with a 4" lift

I am curious if i can or if it is wise to add 1" coil spacers to my existing 4" lift to make up for the sag? Will it affect the driveshafts? Still running stock ds! Any and all help is appreciated!

sure you can do it as all it will really do is help bring you back up to where you were. your rear shaft should be fine being that you have a 4-door but, i'm kinda surprised that you're still running a factory front being that you have an auto

^^^^ Its my understanding that its more the boot and joints that will fail due to contact with the skidplates/trans not an actual broken drive shaft. Feel free to correct me here guys.
